Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
-(y, x) = -(YX-XY)
= XY-YX
Can I do this or would I have to define a matrix X= ( a b c d ) Y= ( e f g h)
And prove it that way? I am just really confused

[X, Y]= YX- XY
Thus [Y, X]= XY- YX
then -[Y, X]= -(XY- YX)
then -[Y, X]= -XY +YX
Like that? So i don't have to use matricies with variables, just use X and Y to represent a matrix?
That's pretty vague. Also, there are a number of steps. One reason doesn't fit them all.Properties of Matricies?
